Just read that Iron Maiden's first singer passed away. Paul Mario Day, who later briefly fronted The Sweet.

Im not sure there's another band we could do this thread with, where practically every single album is listed as a fave by someone, and everyones list is entirely jumbled from best to worst completely differently from everyone elses. Maybe Priest with Halford? Didn't we do that once? Also VH with R...

Another vote for Speak of the Devil, which I recently got an original pressing on vinyl. I guess technically it is a studio album as most of it was redone in the studio incl all vocals. What I don't ger is how an album of Sabbath covers played by a bunch of hair farmers from Quiet Riot and Night Ra...

You must be kidding right?

I agree with pieceofme RYFAY isn't very good and not even close to Trash, Stoopid and Temptation.

I Do not know of it is true but I heard he has been a smoker all his life. Cigarettes will kill your voice. Halford was bad for awhile but he quit smoking and got most of it back I think in the late 90s This is true, Roth has always smokes But Halford must have quit around the Priest reunion or Ang...

Yep. After that:

Vol 4
Black Sabbath
Paranoid
Master
13
Sabotage
NSD
Technical

Can't believe someone voted Technical as the best Sabbath album. That and NSD are the only ones that aren't great:)

RIP Hulk Hogan

Right now it would be You Can't Kill Rock and Roll.

I haven't had any SO who could stand Iron Maiden, or more than a song here and there of Judas Priest and Motörhead. Also all seemed to dislike Depeche Mode more or less even if not HR/HM. Stuff like Queensryche, Rush and Manowar was more palatable, one even became a fan of 90s Rush - RTB and Test fo...

I think the scabs should tell the fan that they are not on the album and ask if they still want it signed. That way they know… Had a few doing just that... Craig Goldy, Scott Travis, Simon Wright. And a few who were wrong - Cozy Powell had to tell Neil Murray he played on the Slide It In album even...

This would continue with every album. He sung all the pussy shit on Dynasty, everything on Unmasked was pussy, even on the heavy COTN, he was whinging about "I still love you", and the also heavy heavy LIU, when was puling about how "You never will find, another love like mine" ...

If you think owning your own home is stress and a headache, it’s nothing compared with being a landlord

Sure. The difference is - one costs you money and the other makes you money.

Whether that's worth it is a separate question.

He definitely peaked early . Was it Dio being a bit of a task master ,that brought out the best in him ? Vivians work in Whitesnake and Def Lep have been completely forgettable. 1. The guitar in Dio was more in Viv's comfort zone, he's good at headbanging NWOBHM but not much more - check the Riverd...

I was. Wasn't that good. They played the Troc in Philly. Says it all right there. Just like COTN was their best in years but didn't translate into concert sales, REVENGE suffered similarly. It's their best album since LIU, but they had churned out so much shit over the previous 5 years (HITS, CN, S...

My 40's. I'm 52 now and my 50's are pretty damn good, but the job I had throughout most of my 40's was so much better than the job I have now. I'm also a homeowner for the first time in my life which has it's pros and cons, but does add a layer of stress I didn't have in my 40's. Good that you admi...

At 26 I had several killer girlfriends Not gonna lie...I glanced and thought this said "serial killer girlfriends" Not serial, but I recently found out that someone I dated in the late 90s is now in jail for attempted murder. Dumb slut thought killing her husband would be easier than divo...

Average. And that's being kind... man, the rest of you clowns really bought into the "KomebacK" BS hook, line, and sinker... After enduring a string of HitS, Asylums and Analimazes it WAS a KomebacK. You had to be there. Lyrics about titty bars? It IS a Kiss album, what do you expect, sat...

Note to self. Don't waste your 40s on work and being in a relationship. There are better options. Too bad I'm already past that.

Saw Judas Priest at Dalhalla, a former limestone quarry in the middle of nowhere. Very cool and unique venue and Priest delivered. The setlist was very Painkiller heavy and it's not my favorite era of Priest but the songs worked live and Halford sounded good on most songs. Also the material seems to...

My favorite of the Kiss without makeup albums. It didn't hurt to bring back: Bob Ezrin to produce and Vinnie Vincent to help with songwriting. My 2nd favorite after Lick It Up. And the first one since LIU where it sounded like they were trying seriously to make a good solid album - maybe that was E...

My 30s by far. You’re not a dumb kid anymore, but still young. You can appeal to both younger and older women. Athletic prime. So far my 50s have sucked and I know it’s only going to get worse Hell yes. Add to that, good money and mostly single and the 30s ruled. My 50s started pretty bad too but n...

Didn't Ace wanted to out Gene and Paul for fucking underage girls in the 70s? He had evidence on his Verizon servers!! What happened to that? Did Gene remind Ace about some 12 year old he fucked when drunk off his ass in Zwolle or Melbourne?

EVH certainly stopped innovating and started repeating himself in schlockier and schlockier ways in his last 30 years. His songwriting chops also went to shit, EVH didn't write songs, he wrote riffs. Without actual songwriters in the band- Roth and Hagar - all we would get from him would be a bunch...

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pDa-plfQj3Y Do you agree with Lemmy that Randy was brilliant, but he got better after he died, because everyone does. So did Lemmy. I love Motörhead but they weren't a huge band except for the NWOBHM era circa 1979-83. After they - especially Lemmy - died they became ...

Right? Erryone knows 1990 was only 15 years ago. Of course it was :) I was 19, went to the US for the first time, graduated high school and David Coverdale tried to pick up my girlfriend outside Cafe Opera in Stockholm. Also, met Black Sabbath on the Tyr tour and most important, totally nailed the ...

Peter for the win! Seems like he always has an axe to grind with him. Dick envy? Maybe but I think he could honestly not care less about the success of Beth. It charted high in the US but not worldwide like IWMFLY or HoF - both his songs - and just isn't a big Kiss Klassik and never was. They playe...

IMO, Alice Cooper was a nonentity in the late 80's, "Trash" absolutely gave his career a resurgence. True. Here in Sweden He's Back was a big hit but nothing near the level of Trash. I liked him earlier because of the GH, B$B and Nightmare but he was like Uriah Heep or Nazareth until Tras...

In your opinion, you americans in a message board for hair metal bands and not an article in the Daily News, what's the difference between coasts and different states? Is it really that much cheaper living in a little town in the center of Georgia than in Los Angeles? Housing might be cheaper but o...
